The Greenhouse Facility

The Department of Biology Greenhouse Complex covers ~1 acre including greenhouse and outdoor space to support the teaching and
research activities of the Department. In association with the C.H. Quibell Herbarium,
the Greenhouse Complex supports education in plant biology by maintaining a variety
of living plant collections including tropical and dryland species as well as smaller
collections of orchids and carnivorous species. The grounds of the Complex include
planting of species native to the Central Valley and surrounding foothills of the
Sierras and a pond supporting a range of aquatic and wetland species. Additional
resources supporting the Department’s research activities include seven Conviron growth
chambers and greenhouse space with controlled illumination, temperature, and watering
capabilities. The Department maintains close cooperation with the Department of Plant
Science and others in the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology as
well as the University maintained campus arboretum to support education and research
in plant biology. Please call the Department of Biology Office at 559-278-2001 for
